I have taken up the offer already. Frankly, my industry typically doesn't pay high salary so it can't be compared to what other professionals are earning for the same level and experience. I have already resigned to this fact, so I just have to continue to leave a simple lifestyle and I think 3.5k should be sufficient to get by at this time. I am still single but i am planning to get married in a couple of years time. Many of my peers in the same industry with the same level of experience as me are earning 2plus to 3k only, btw.
Of course when I gain more experience in teaching, I will seek out greener pastures if my salary doesn't improve over time. But as for now, I'll just have to make do with this. Thanks everyone, for your views and feedback.

Who don't want a high salary job? You are paid based on your market value and if the TS's market value currently is $3.5k, then that's that. He has to build from his first $3.5k. Telling him not to take the job because it is shitty to be drawing $3.5k at 33 years old is just plain stupid.

Frankly if a person's salary is low.. Why want to buy car to show off??? The COE prices are insane these days!! If no money then just take bus, MRT like everybody else lah... I pity the fools who squeeze every drop of their take home income to put a car on the road and feed the ERP gantry everyday... Pathetic... What really counts is your have money inside the bank... Why can't people just learn to live within their means instead of always wanting to keep up with appearances... Empty shell only...

It's a lifestyle choice. For all you know, the "fool" may think you're a fool too. And he may luck out and strike it rich sooner than you by landing a great job, great inheritance, great lottery, or all of the above.
